Released in celebration of Black History Month, Studio Canal reveal this 4k Restoration of the seminal British classic from 1951, Cry, The Beloved Country. Not only do you get the 4k restoration of the movie from director Zoltan Korda, but there’s also new extras, and archive footage including a documentary on cinema under apartheid and a 16-page booklet.
So, why is the movie so important? Now over 70 years old, it features a moving, and emotional story, played out by some fabulous actors and, it feels very much ahead of its time covering the racial injustices of the period.

Ariana Grande is back! … Okay, she never actually left, having released two chart-topping singles earlier in 2020. But on October 23 she returned with the lead single from her upcoming album, “Positions.” It’s the followup to her critically acclaimed, commercially successful album “Thank U, Next,” which she released in early 2019. Watch the music video for the title song above.
“Positions” is a pop/R&b love ballad with trap beats in which Grande pledges that she’ll be “switching the positions for you … Know my love infinite, nothing I wouldn’t do.” But while she’s singing about devotion to the one she loves, the video finds her running things in the boardroom, in the kitchen and even in the White House.

On Thursday night, Ariana Grande gave fans a first taste of Positions — the follow-up to her most-successful album yet, 2019’s already-double-platinum Thank U, Next. Lead single, title track, and slow-burning bop “Positions” dropped alongside a music video that’s both flirtatious and empowering. In it, Grande traipses around the White House as president, often flanked by her heavily female and diverse cabinet. She switches roles — or positions — between homemaker, bedroom enchantress and leader of the free world.
If the rest of the album is anything like “Positions,” fans can expect...
